ACL_CHECK(3)            BSD Library Functions Manual            ACL_CHECK(3)

NAME         top

     acl_error — convert an ACL error code to a text message

LIBRARY         top

     Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).

SYNOPSIS         top

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <acl/libacl.h>
     const char *
     acl_error(int code);

DESCRIPTION         top

     The acl_error() function converts an ACL error code such as returned by
     the acl_check() function to a text message describing the error condi‐
     tion. In the “POSIX” locale, acl_check() returns the following descrip‐
     tions for the error codes.
     ACL_MULTI_ERROR       “Multiple entries”
     ACL_DUPLICATE_ERROR   “Duplicate entries”
     ACL_MISS_ERROR        “Missing or wrong entry”
     ACL_ENTRY_ERROR       “Invalid entry type”

RETURN VALUE         top

     The acl_error() function returns a text message if the error code is
     recognized, and a value of (const char *)NULL otherwise.

STANDARDS         top

     This is a non-portable, Linux specific extension to the ACL
     manipulation functions defined in IEEE Std 1003.1e draft 17
     (“POSIX.1e”, abandoned).
